This quote suggests that in order for a society to maintain its freedom, its citizens should be well-educated and knowledgeable. Only when people are properly instructed can they fully understand their rights and responsibilities, enabling them to make informed decisions and actively participate in democratic processes. Education plays a crucial role in empowering individuals to think critically, challenge authority, and protect their liberties. Without a well-instructed populace, there is a risk of ignorance, apathy, and vulnerability to manipulation, potentially endangering the sustainability of a free society.
